Isopropyltriphenylphosphonium iodide, 98+%

Description

Useful precursor of isopropylidene unit by Wittig reaction with aldehydes. It is also used in tandem cyclopropanation and Wittig olefination in a synthesis of chrysanthemic acid. Also employed in Wittig and cyclopropanation reactions. It is used as a reactant for total synthesis of heliananes, in the preparation of highly substituted benzene derivatives, synthesis of curcuphenol and elvirol analogs via a retro-aldol reaction as fungicidal agents, 4-substituted methoxylbenzoyl-aryl-thiazoles analogues as potent and orally bioavailable anticancer agents.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
